Thread: New Dungeons/Instances with "outdoor parts" and different scenarios for [2.0.]

Yes please.

agreed, tired of caves

Well our current raids just seem to use the same building blocks as existing areas. Toto-rak is like Mun-Tuy Cellars, Cutter's Cry is like Copperbell Mines etc.

Hopefully with 2.0 they will get a lot more imaginative with some unique areas.

You mean, something like... this?

Those ares are have always been existing right from the start, they just re-used intially planned stuff to keep us busy until 2.0.

Agreed an outdoor instance/dungeon would be cool, The pictures Hulan posted look to be something like that.

Specifically, I recall the second one being referred to as an instance (or perhaps I am projecting, since the way the captions describe the content, it sounds like it must be in an instance).

But what i'd like to see for 2.0. would be complete new dungeons/instances.. that play partly "outside" where you can see the sky etc.

what we have now are only wild caves over and over. what about old ruins, forests or even villages or cities? what we have in offline final fantasys, too.
SE could make a whole scenario where Garleans besiege a village like Al Mhigo (or how the harbour city was called like within the storyline) and you have to fight through it, like in Offline Final Fantasy titles like FFXIII.

in the end an imperator from the garleans..

partly outdoor like for example in FFXII:

FFXII Gilgamesh Dungeon


Dungeons and instances dont have to play always in wild caves.. they could create a complete scenario like in one of the offline FF titles. be creative SE, think different..
that is what we need for 2.0. to make it appear more interesting and fresh.

an instance could also play in a forest or wherever else... why not?

I think the whole "in a cave" thing is to keep up with the genericness of "standard" MMOs. Even in their last FF MMO there were open world dungeons everywhere, lots of inside dungeons but a lot of the end-game zones were actually open/outside (like Sky/Sea outdoor segments.)

I just hope they don't dump everything into instances, especially with a new engine at its foundation.

What standard would that be? There's not one AAA MMO that has only hole-in-the-wall instances. They all mix it up with outdoorsy areas, caves, and real dungeons.
